Reckless Endangerment: I liked Aaron’s version of sunsetting all laws. Jonathan Rauch proposed this is as a way to get rid of the rot in the tax code in his book government’s end. But Barkha’s limiting of spending to GDP is probably the one that works best to limit problems before they arise. · 3 hours ago

I concur with a twist. All bills passed would have a ten page limit, their authorship clearly identified, and all politicians be subject to all laws that are passed. Oh yeah, and public unions would immediately be abolished.

Repeal the seventeenth amendment. Repeal the sixteenth amendment as well. Create a new amendment which forbids the federal government from taxing U.S. citizens directly but does allow for it to tax the individual states directly. Then, watch the new political dynamic play itself out while reserving the right to use sword in the future…on entitlements or something.

Go bigger. · 13 minutes ago

We’re limited to public policy and society/culture are untouchable, right?

I still think I’d stick with removing Roe. There is no bigger wrong in our public policy.

Other wishes would be to implement entitlement reform — in all the ways we’d love to do it if it were politically feasible. And there are some wonderful things that could be done in education. Choosing one policy would be tough, because one would have to choose between the urgent and the important.
